Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Rain's legs, swollen and fiery red, strained against the confines of his boots, their usual contours distorted by the inflammation. The discomfort was palpable, and the unsettling realization of his condition gripped him, adding a layer of apprehension to the already dire situation.

"... This is what I get from going overboard… but at least I achieve my goal, the rest is up to you, guys" Rain thought.

Rain sacrificed his legs, but half of the enemies were killed before they could reach the capital… fighting agaisnt fifty or so leviathan dragons would be hard, but the warriors and soldiers of the Capital began to move with in mind.

The warriors of the Raging Phoenix split into fifty groups as well… each only only had thirty of them and it didn't seem much against the gargantuan beasts, but it didn't matter… It was do or die.

Rain activated the third and second seal while the first kept helping his legs. Almost half of the mana that Terra had accumulated in the last few days has been used already and it was hard to imagine that the other half would make Rain being able to stand.

It looked like the leviathan dragons realized that as well since some of them began to jump toward him, even though he was five kilometers away from the capital.

Some warriors of the raging Phoenix tried to stop those creatures and the beasts didn't even pay attention to them, they just jumped and fell over the beasts.

Naturally, the beast assumed that those creatures had been killed, but instead of it, the dragons felt a sharp and cold pain in their bodies… the cold started to increase and forced the monsters to jump away. Soon enough, they found the warriors with their shields raised and their spears drenched in the dragon's blood… they just gave their all to keep their formation and that worked well.

The monsters' bodies, where the ice dragon bone spears had pierced, underwent a surprising transformation. The affected areas froze rapidly, a crystalline sheen enveloping them. As the ice encased the wounded portions, delicate cracks formed, resembling fragile glass on the verge of shattering.

The surreal scene unfolded as a testament to the bone-chilling power of the enchanted spears, leaving behind frozen imprints that mirrored the violence of their impact.

"It worked better than I expected for mass produced weapons…" Rain thought. "The shields are quite effective since the warriors didn't suffer much damage."

When the dragons showed the exposed wounded areas, spells from the walls were fired toward them… most of them were earth and fire spells, fired by the mages of the magic academy. Their reach was quite something and their aim wasn't half bad.

In any case, the warriors assumed their stances again, but some of the leviathan dragons tried to ignore them and jumped over them… when that happened, the members of the magic and sound squads used their magic and the warriors used Impulse as well and pierced the back of the enemies bodies.

The leviathan dragons quivered and groaned in agony as additional portions of their colossal bodies succumbed to the relentless assault. Chunks of flesh, previously untouched by the freezing magic, were now torn asunder and promptly encased in frost. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

The dragons, once impervious, found themselves gradually losing control over their massive forms, shedding frozen fragments that plummeted to the ground below. The spectacle was both awe-inspiring and terrifying as the creatures struggled against the dual forces of piercing cold and relentless destruction.

One would usually think that using ice magic enchantments against such beasts wouldn't be a good idea, but Rain already proved that it was highly effective since the monsters were aquatic creatures and their bodies had a lot of water as well.

"... I have to find a way to help," Rain thought.

Rain was already drinking potions and also using the spell that made him recover from the explosions that destroyed most of his skin in the war agaisnt Joanis, but that stillw wasn't enough if compared to the healing abilities of Terra's seal.

Rain tried to stand up, but his legs soon gave up… maybe he should wait there since the warriors managed to get the attention of the dragons and left him alone, but Rain didn't want that.

After considering many options, Rain decided to do something unusual, something that he never tried before. In the middle of the fierce fight against the massive leviathan dragons, Rain decided to get creative with his magic. Rain started by summoning thick, dark rain clouds. These clouds were packed with magical energy, just waiting to wreak havoc on the colossal dragons below.

Rain brought his fire magic into play, adding a touch of intense heat to the mix. The clouds, now superheated, were the perfect canvas for Rain's next move. Using his earth magic, he sprinkled in some fine metallic dust – like a magical seasoning for the impending storm.

But Rain wasn't done yet. With a smooth transition back to water magic, he cooled down the concoction. What he ended up with was a deadly rain, not your ordinary shower. This rain had turned into a corrosive acid, thanks to the magical alchemy and components happening in those clouds.

At first, the dragons had brushed it off as just another part of the chaotic battlefield. But when that corrosive rain started eating through their tough scales, the dragons quickly realized they were in for a nasty surprise.

In the thick of the battle, Rain continued to control and adapt his acid rain attack. He made sure it hit the dragons where it hurt without causing harm to the surroundings or his allies. The once-mighty dragons, now vulnerable and struggling, faced an unexpected magical assault – all thanks to Rain's clever thinking and mastery over the elements.

Acid magic wasn't a thing in that world yet, so no one knew what Rain had done, bu the smell on the area made them understand that it was something very nasty…
