Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Still, the chance to use his magic and level up his path wasn't something that he wanted to miss. After thinking for a while, Rain had an idea. He couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, that will work to traumatize some people.

"It is time to make them understand that despite my mom's weird naming sense, my name sure suits me," Rain said and then grabbed his spear.

After approaching the enemy's territory, Rain and Terra saw a bunch of soldiers preparing to fight. Too bad for them, but Rain had no intention of doing that… after raising his weapon, Rain began to focus and created a rain cloud over the enemy's camp.

Creating that out of nowhere was no easy feat, but that didn't faze the soldiers… they didn't fear a little rain and they had another reason for that… When the first droplets of water began to fall, it didn't take long for Rain to confirm that their entire camp was protected by an anti magic barrier. One much bigger than the one that protected the castle.

"I guess they want to have some peace of mind…" Rain thought when he felt the water disappearing. "Too bad for them, but they will have to feel how I feel everyday."

Rain controlled the rain clouds once more and made them expand around the camp. Before long, they were no longer above the invisible anti magic barrier. When that happened, he began to make it Rain.

At first, the humans seeing that couldn't help but frown, what was the point of that? The ground began to get wet once the droplets of water began to fall and then the rain got more intense.

"Did you change your mind?" Terra asked while frowning.

"I figured out that making them feel depressed would take too long, it is better to make them fear," Rain explained.

It has to be one hell of a Rain to scare anyone… in any case, Rain kept going until his mana was empty. Still, with his focus and the new stage of meditation, he could keep the clouds under his control, even though they were no longer dropping any water.

When Josar returned with the potions, he also had several questions, but he decided to leave those for later. Rain began to drink the potions and then made it Rain again.

Before long, all the water around the human camp began to float and the humans raised their guard… They assumed that Rain was planned to destroy the barrier with brute strength when the water began to spin, but soon it touched the ground again and like a saw, it began to cut the ground…

"You are really going to…" Terra furrowed her eyebrows.

"Hehehe, just watch," Rain smiled. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

The enemies noticed the danger that they were facing when they realized that their entire camp was being surrounded by a one meter long hole that was getting deeper. Soon, they realized that they couldn't stop Rain anymore and went to inform their allies.

"What?" Joanis calm and serious demeanor broke when he heard the most recent report.

Joanis explained to the king how they would quickly attack and destroy the cities and towns in the central area of the magic people's territory. Their goal was to take their resources and use them in the siege.

Their original plan was to take the capital in less than one week and solidify their power there and the defenses against the dragons as well, but thanks to Rain's intervention, they had to change their one week plan to a three weeks plan.

However, while he had noticed the Rain and confirmed that it wasn't a natural phenomena, he didn't think that it would be an issue since their anti magic barrier covered their whole camp and then some… but the news about a hole enveloping their territory was worrisome.

"Why didn't you stop it?" Joanis asked, visibly annoyed.

"We didn't have the chance, sir," the soldier explained. "It just rained for a couple of minutes and then he used the water on the ground to make the hole.

"Attack him now!" Joanis shouted. "His magic should have limitations like range! We can't afford to let him isolate us in this place!"

The soldiers left in a hurry and the news quickly spread in the camp. Joanis was losing his cool since Rain's skills and tactics defied the norm in too many aspects.

He had done some investigation on him and he knew that he only studied tactics for three months, so he assumed that half of these results were thanks to Branden leadership, but he finally realized that it had been a serious mistake and he also had a good head for planning ahead.

"Joanis… it seems that this boy keeps getting in our way in ways that you never expected," The king said.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Joanis said while cleaning his forehead from sweat. "If we weren't certain of his background, I would think that he has dragon's blood in his veins considering how resourceful he is. Still, even dragons only learn how to use their powers effectively after hundreds of years since they believe that they should grow and learn by trial and error."

"That doesn't matter," The king said. "I am tired of him, and it seems that your commonly employed tactics won't defeat him for good."

"... There are some ways to do that, but not without causing astronomic losses on our side," Joanis explained. "If we kill him and end up sacrificing many of our soldiers, we will lose morale and they might join the rebels."

"I don't desire to sacrifice my people to kill a single boy and at this point in time, it would be foolish to try to keep fighting him," The king said. "Call Revan, we will use him to deliver a message to this boy. We can't keep wasting time and resources and the best option now is to make him come to our side."
