Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Rain was eager to acquire the next technique, one that resembled the abilities of the sea dragons, as soon as possible. He understood that these techniques were crucial in their ongoing battle against all the enemies. However, he also realized that he needed to prioritize other tasks.

His desire to talk with Isa and understand the situation in the sea dragon's territory weighed heavily on his mind. Recognizing the importance of this task, he decided to work diligently on the tunnel that would allow him to communicate with her. His recent power-ups and the enhanced abilities he had acquired made the task more manageable.

Remarkably, Rain managed to complete the tunnel in just three days, which was a testament to his determination and newfound capabilities. Once the tunnel was operational, he took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the sea dragon's territory, eager to gather information and insights that would aid in their ongoing struggle.

The areas that Rain checked was on the limits of the areas where the sea dragons slept. It was pretty far away from that hole where he took the shield, but it was enough to confirm that the dragons were more active than ever… more than in hundreds of years.

"What is causing this? The fact that I took that shield? The existence of this unknown demi human or other sources?" Rain thought while he was heading home. "We can't force them to talk, so it will be hard to learn anything until the very end."

When Rain returned home, he saw Seara teaching water magic to the kids while she was training as well. The training that they were doing was to hit some obstacles in the distance.

The kids were aiming at targets thirty meters away while Seara was aiming at five hundred meters… the distance was a bit odd, but then Rain saw them jumping and then spinning in the air once and then firing water balls at the targets.

"I guess that can work…" Rain said. "They are trying to mimic a fighting situation."

Rain decided to leave them to focus on the training and then found Terra helping Sealyn walk almost by herself. She was one year old, so she could do that already.

When Sealyn saw Rain, she began to rub toward him with her trembling legs and her progress surprised Terra before Sealyn jumped on his arms.

"I should have known… why does she like you so much when all you do is train and work?" Terra asked.

"It is probably because I am just so cool," Rain shrugged. "Right, Sealyn? Your first word was papa, so your first sentence should be "papa is cool."

"... I received more reports," Terra said and then sighed. "Sounds of impacts have been heard in the Western border and Geo found signs of battles in the beast people territory. He only checks after a while since he is scared shitless of the dragons."

"You can't blame him," Rain said. "Working alone for too long is tough."

Living and working in isolation for extended periods can have various negative effects on a person's physical and mental well-being. Extended isolation can lead to mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and loneliness. The lack of social interaction and emotional support can take a toll on one's psychological well-being.

Isolation can lead to heightened stress levels, as there is often no outlet for expressing and processing emotions. Feelings of frustration and helplessness can intensify in the absence of social support.

"I don't blame him, that is why I am telling him to only work three days per week, but he only stops for a day every five days," Terra said. "He is worried about the magic people on the eastern side of the country. He has family and friends there… Anyway, when are you going to talk with this Isa? I hope that you don't bring her here eventually to be the third."

"She looks older than my mom, so I can't see her like that," Rain frowned. "Anyway, tomorrow. I want to return as soon as possible since I don't think that we will spend much time talking."

When Rain was a teen, he had his milf lover phase, he was particularly attracted to those who had a bit of a saggy mommy milkers, but he grew up from that. Besides, he was married with two milfs already, so he couldn't ask for more.

In the end, Rain spent the rest of the time with his family and then he departed early in the morning the next day to talk with Isa. For some reason, he felt a bit weird… he wondered if it was because of what Terra said before, but he felt that it wasn't the case.

In any case, when Rain arrived in the area and he crossed the barrier, he understood why he felt like that… his senses were warning him that something troublesome was about to happen.

Rain found a bunch of squads patrolling the beach… while the guys who usually would patrol the ocean were sitting and just watching… Rain could tell that for some reason, they couldn't do their job… probably because of him.

Thanks to that, Rain didn't approach the Beach and as soon as the guards noticed him, they raised their Weapons. The guards looked pretty biffed, they had fluffy tails too, so Rain assumed that they had the blood of the beast people.

"Do I have to introduce myself all over again?" Rain thought.

Before long, Rain saw one of the old guards approaching the new ones, he was the half sea folk that was supposed to be the captain of the guards of the area.

"His name is Van Hellsing… or just Van? I don't remember," Rain thought.

In any case, before long, Van approached Rain through the ocean while the others were on guard and the number of guards increased in the area. All the guards that came from outside were over two hundred, so Rain was getting famous there.
