Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

"If I add some more ice and then aim correctly… they should come in handy, and I can avoid causing tsunamis," Rain thought. "What next?"

As the battles with the dragons escalated to epic proportions, Rain found that his traditional knowledge of tactics and strategies was becoming less and less effective. The scale of the conflicts had grown to a point where conventional methods were no longer sufficient. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

In response, Rain realized that he needed to rely more on his creativity and adaptability to overcome the challenges posed by the dragons. It was no longer about following a set plan but about thinking on his feet and finding innovative solutions to the ever-evolving problems they faced.

Rain had some ideas that were worthy of testing… that would decrease the chances of the dragons running away and also would decrease the possibility of tsunamis. However, it would be risky for the warriors.

"It would be better if I took most of the experience, but at high levels, it is a bit less efficient… so… I still want all the experience," Rain thought.

In the end, Rain focused on the real goal, which was to decrease the strength of the dragons as much as possible, so he decided to follow those new ideas.

Once Rain finished the preparations, it was mid-afternoon, and he went to talk with Seadrei. The wounds in his body had increased, but at least he was already in the throne room and waiting for him.

"I didn't think that you would accept this so readily," Rain said.

"I don't like the idea, but I want to get rid of the ice dragons… the cold is starting to affect me as well," Seadrei said and then sighed.

Swimming in cold underwater areas can be extremely dangerous due to several factors. Cold water rapidly draws heat from the body, leading to a drop in core temperature. Prolonged exposure can cause hypothermia, which can result in confusion, numbness, muscle weakness, and, in severe cases, loss of consciousness and even death.

Cold water can decrease muscle strength and coordination, making it harder to swim effectively. This reduction in mobility can lead to exhaustion and increase the risk of drowning. Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the extremities. This can lead to impaired dexterity and make it difficult to swim or perform simple tasks.

Swimming in cold water requires significantly more energy and can lead to quicker fatigue, especially if your body is not acclimated to the cold.

Rain could only imagine that Seadrei was dealing with that as well… Rain didn't even try to test the waters since he didn't want to risk getting sick or freezing his balls, even though he never got sick in that world.

"I am going to watch you from a distance, just to be sure in case something happens," Seadrei declared. "Seadir will keep the others busy in the frontlines so that no one will realize my absence."

Rain wanted to say a few things about that, but he decided not to since it was Seadrei terms. Besides, he needed to be healed, and Terra could help him with that.

Both of them left the underwater castle without alerting anyone and soon swam to the port town. Although Rain watered to put the plan into action as soon as possible, Seadrei made him wait since he wanted to stay with his granddaughter for a bit… In the end, that didn't change things that much since Rain and half of the warriors had to move.

After creating some water golems and freezing them, Rain created ice platforms on their backs to make them carry the warriors… each platform would have fifty of them, so Rain was only able to drive around ten without leaving the town defenseless. Once that was done, Rain made them move toward the direction of some dragons.

"... Do you think that they will be fine without you guys to command them?" Seadrei asked when he approached.

"We don't have that many people, and they have five squad leaders, so things should be fine…" Rain said. "As long as they stick to the plan, and I don't mess up, things will be fine."

Rain's goal was to exterminate at least thirty of the ice dragons that night, and he will have to leave ten or so in the hands of his warriors… It was risky, but they will be able to fight in those waters just fine with so many icebergs around.

"We have around one hour before they reach the targets," Rain said. "Since you are here, I will be counting on you to deal with trouble if it reaches the port town. I decided to compromise, but I am not that good at holding back."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Seadrei said. "Speak in clear terms."

"You will understand when the time comes," Rain said.

After waiting for one hour, Rain decided to put his plan into action. For starters, he began to fly high in the sky with the others and then used his mana to infuse it on the snow that was falling. It didn't take long for him to feel the location of all the ice dragons in the ocean… even at night, they kept flying in circles.

"I guess I can only hit one at a time," Rain thought when his eyes were closed.

After doing some adjustments in his head, Rain started with the easy ones. After raising his arm to the sky, Rain eventually swung it down… the group didn't see anything happening, thanks to the night sky and the clouds. However, several giant ice spears began to fall from the sky, and in time, they pierced the wings of the ice dragons that the warriors were going to face.

Without their mobility, the warriors should have an easier time hunting them.

"I spoil them too much…" Rain thought. "Well, as long as this increases their chances of survival, it will be fine."
